Enjoy Corsica at its best at La Plage Casadelmar
Corsica is an island of mountains and surf, where the headlands and the beaches rise up to the forests of holm oak. On the southeastern shores of Corsica lies the Benedettu Peninsula and the city of Porto Vecchio, the “Old Port,” and this is where you will find the five-star luxury boutique beach hotel, La Plage Casadelmar. Open since 2012, La Plage was the result of the extraordinary success of its parent estate, the Hotel Casadelmar, which stands one mile across the Bay of Porto Vecchio along the Picovaggia Road. The two sister manors constantly exchange visitors through the services of Azur Privileges, a boat rental business with docks at each facility, and the Michelin two-star restaurant and the spa services at the Hotel are open to visitors from La Plage, just as the long beach at La Plage is open to guests from the Hotel. The hotel staff and Azur will also be glad to arrange bespoke tours of the area, including fishing excursions, skiing, and other water sports.
La Plage Casadelmar is a small hotel, but its sandy beach is large, with a fine rocky headland at the eastern end. There are a total of fifteen guestrooms on the estate, and each of them offers either a garden or a sea view. The superior suites feature terraces and larger spaces, and every room is equipped with lavish designer toiletries and amenities. Designed by Jean François Bodin, many of the guestrooms are calmly laid out in beige and sandy tones, reflecting the natural surroundings of the estate, and providing an interesting contrast to the brightness and color of the lobby, while the Deluxe Sea View Suite is as flashy at the rest of the hotel.
